Like a Stone Lyrics

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness

By a freeway i confess
I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone

And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house i long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed i will pray
To the gods and the angels

Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven

To a place i recall
I was there so long ago

The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house i long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

And on i read
Until the day was gone
And i sat in regret

Of all the things i've done
For all that i've blessed

And all that i've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house i long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
